You are having multiple problems already. Are you taking Some medicines like Gabaneuron or Pregabalin. If not take one of these. Tab gabaneuron 300mg Once a day or cap pregabalin 75 mg along with Methylcobalamin 1500Microgram once a day. Both of these are having sedative effect so prefeably take these at night time.
